UFC officials today announced the contest has been booked for UFC 155.

UFC 155 takes place Dec. 29 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The main event is a heavyweight title fight rematch between champion Junior Dos Santos and ex-titleholder Cain Velasquez, which headlines the pay-per-view portion of the show.

UFC officials did not announce where the Garcia vs. McKenzie bout will reside on the evening’s fight card, but it is expected to take place on the preliminary portion of the event.

Garcia comes into the bout in desperate need of a win after dropping three-straight fights under the UFC banner. The Team Jackson-Winkeljohn fighter has competed under the Zuffa banner since 2007 and has a penchant for exciting (even if not exactly technical) brawls from start to finish. In fact, four of Garcia’s past seven fights have earned him a “Fight of the Night” bonus, and his 2010 tussle with Chan Sung Jung in the now-shuttered WEC promotion is widely considered that year’s best fight.

Still, Garcia has just one win in his past five fights and could use a victory to stay in his bosses’ good graces.

Meanwhile, McKenzie fights for the second time at 145 pounds after a three-fight UFC run at lightweight. His first trip to featherweight was not a success, as the submission ace suffered a knockout loss to Chad Mendes in just 31 seconds. While McKenzie is also no stranger to entertaining tussles, his 12 career submission wins are a clear indicator of where he’ll likely hope to take this matchup.
